Movie # 1133 ........................."Stars Wars: Force Awakens" (Episode VII)

Movie #1133 "Star Wars:  Force Awakens" (Episode VII)  --- I am not as well versed in the franchise as many of my friends, but I know a good film when I see one, and this is one very good film.  Thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end, the film harkens back to the excellence this franchise once was, while introducing new characters and conflict (strong females!  About time!)    There are lots of surprises in plot and in  cameo appearance by all kinds of  actors (I found myself saying, "I know that voice, but who is it? " when Daniel Craig made an entrance).    There's comfort in hearing the oh so familiar teasing between Chewbacca and Hans Solo, and intriguing CGI that makes another cool bar scene (with Lin Manuel Miranda ("Hamilton") writing the music for said scene).  I don't want to say too much but sufficeth it to say that when we walked out of the theatre, we felt we had seen the best picture of the year (or maybe many years)  --- it's that good!  No one can beat the special effects , and we were able to see it in IMAX 3D which was just frosting on the cake!  This one is highly recommended!!!!
